Tammany was there in full force, hot such disgruntled Democrats as A1 Smith and John J. Raskob were con spicuous by their absence. Mr. Roose velt declared bis purpose to bring more food, higher prices and better homes for the people. "If you Increase buying power," he said, "prices will go up; more goods will be sold. Wages ought to and must go up with prices. This does cot mean unsound Inflation or skyrocketing prices; this should be avoided Just as we seek to avoid bankruptcy sale values." Turning to his critics with sarcasm, the President said "some Individuals are never satisfied." Referring to charges of extravagance and mounting deficits, he said people complain to him about "the current costs of re building America, about the burden on future America." He insisted tbst tbe measure should not be the three-billlon dollar deficit of this year but tbe asser tion that the national income has risen thirty-five billions in 1932 to sixty-five billions in 1936. New Tax Bill Battle Started in House TBE administration's bill to levy about 800 million dollars in new ?1mm yearly was Introduced in the house by the ways snd means cffibttllt-' tee, and a fierce battle started imme diately. Tbe Republican minority of the committee issued ? report which stated that the proposed tax law was "nnsound In principle, will undermine business stability, is another step to ward regimentation of all business, and is not designed to raise revenue but admittedly is another New Deal experi ment." Conservative Democrats Joined with the Republicans in this attack against the bill, bnt tbe administration leaders were confident the measure would pass before May L Navy in Six-Week Drill on the Pacific ONE hundred and fifty Tessels of tbe Doited States fleet, with 450 airplanes, are now engsged In the year's grand maneuvers In the Pacific. War condition* prevail and the ves sels and their crews are being given a severe test of their fitness that will last for six weeks. The Panama canal region was the first objective of the fleet. The iinlta are divided Into at tacking and defending forces and some thing Is doing all the time, day and night. The naval officers are trying to solve the seventeenth of a series of strategic problems, each based npon some possible International situation, mapped out by naval strategists. Advance of the Italians in Ethiopia Continues ITALY'S victorious troops In north ern Ethiopia continued their ad vance on Addis Ababa, though it was somewhat retarded by the efTorts of the natives to blow up the roadways and otherwise harass the Invaders. The Italian motorized column in this movement is the most formidable yet formed in this war and is notable for the large number of white troops in cluded. General Grazlana's southern army, meanwhile, was driving toward Harar, second city of the empire, in three col umns. The Ethiopians were putting up 8 tiff resistance at various points but everywhere were driven back, ac cording to Italian dispatches, Contreras Is Elected President of Venezuela ELEAZAR LOPEZ CONTRERAS. an army officer who rose to the rank of general under the late dictator, Juan Vincente Gomez, Is now president of Venezuela.

Von Starhemberg of Austria Voices His Defiance CIVIL war In Austria became a pos sibility as the quarrel between the Fascists led by Prince Ernst von Star hemberg and the clerical and mon Hfc ... A. Prince Von Starhemberg arcnist elements De came acute. Govern ment officials, how ever, were trying des perately to patch tip the trouble. Prince Von Star hemberg, who Is vice chancellor. In a de fiant speech at Horn warned his political opponents that his belmwehr, or home guard, would be dis solved "only over my dead body." Chancellor Kurt Scbuschnlgg, speak ing at Baden, retorted that "Austria Is not Italy and Austrlans are Jiot Fascists." Von Starhemberg asserted that If In ternal foes press too bard there will be a "repetition of 1934" ? when the helm wehr triumphed In a short but bloody civil war against Socialists. False friends surround Schuschnlgg, Ton Starhemberg said, and tbe heimwehr plans to protect blm from them. For Austria, said Starhemberg, there are three possibilities ? a continuation of the authority of the state, Nazllsm, or communism. He asserted the heim wehr Is determined to preserve the Fascist system and would continue as a separate organization but that other private armies would be absorbed by tbe regular army. Supreme Court Decision in Stock Yards Case UPHOLDING a redaction of rates and charges at the St. Joseph, Mo, stockyards, tbe Supreme court held that the findings made by Secretary of Agrleultw* Heary A. Wallace Justified tbe rates he set and that the stock yards operators bad failed to show con fiscation. Justice Lonls D. Brandels, Harlan F. Stone and Benjamin Cordozo agreed that tbe rates should be upheld hot In an opinion by Justice Brandels ex pressed belief that the court went too far in passing on the fairness of rates. Two Weil-Known Writers Taken by Death DEATH came to two of America's well-known writers One was Flo ley Feter Dunne, creator of "Mr. Doo ley," the genial satirist of modern life whose witty sayings delighted two gen erations. The second was Percy Ham mond, Veteran dramatic critic af tbe New York Herald Tribune, one of the foremost of the country's commenta tors on matters theatrical. Both passed away la New York dty. Secret Panama Treaty I* Cause o{ Concern A RUT and navy officials were re ** ported to be concerned over ? new treaty with Fanama which Is being secret ly considered by the government. It was said an uncorrected text of the pact showed It provides for "Joint conver sations" rather than for defense of the Canal Zone In event of aggression. The grant by Panama for the "use, oc cupation, and control of lands and wa ters outside the jurisdiction of the United States," If necessary. Is re nounced by this country In the treaty. Chairman Plttman of the senate for eign relations committee said closed bearings on the treaty soon would be completed, after which the senate might consider the document In secret ses sion In order to avoid International complications. Steiwer to Be Key-Noter for the Republicans WHEN the Republicans gather In national convention at Cleveland next June their keynote for their Presidential campaign will be sounded Senator Steiwer Dy t reaericic sieiwer, the eloquent and hand some United State* senator from Oregon. He was selected to be temporary chairman of the convention b y unanimous vote of the arrangements commit tee of the national committee after doe consideration had been given the names of several other promi nent Republicans. Observers held that the motive In picking Stelwer was a desire of the party leaders to give the convention a western atmosphere at the start, with an especial eye to agrlcolture. Congressman Bertrand Snell of New York, minority leader In the boose, was selected to be permanent chair man of the convention, a position be held In the convention of 1932, Leftists Are Winners in French Elections COMMUNISTS and various brands of Socialists appear to have won a considerable victory In the French elections for the chamber of deputies, though the large number of run-off elections necessary may tone down the results. The greatest gain Is shown by the Communists, who are likely to have 50 seats ; but this does not please the Radical Socialists for they cannot count on the Communists In forming a government and fear that without them the chamber will be ungovern able. Senate Passes Emergency Flood Control Bill DISREGARDING warnings by Sen ator Yandenberg of Michigan against too hasty action, the senate passed a bill lntrodoced by Senator Overton of Louisiana authorizing the expenditure ot $272,000,000 for flood control work on the lower Mississippi river and its tributaries. There was no record vote. The bill has no rela tion to the omnibuf billion. The sum named in the senate bill Is authorized merely to be appro priated and will bare to be put In a deficiency appropriation bllL Rescue of Entombed Men Is Epic of Heroism THAT old gold mine at Moose River, Nova Scotia, provided an epic tale of unselfish and berolc human eDdeavor that will be told for many a year. For ten days more than a. hundred experienced miner* strove unceasingly to rescue three men who had been trapped by the fall of dirt and rocks In the 140-foot level of the abandoned mine they were inspecting. Machinery and other equipment were brought from far away. A diamond drill was driven through and through this small opening, communication was established and food was dropped down but already one of the three was dead of hunger and exhaustion. Finally the desperate efforts of the rescuers were successful and the two survivors were brought safely to the surface, together with the body of the dead man. Those saved were Dr. D. E. Spbertson, famous and beroved surgeon ot Toronto, and C. A. Scadding. The one who did not Uve was Herman Maglll, also of Toronto. * t Black Committee Scored by Publishers WHAT American newspaper pub lishers think of the actions of the Black lobby committee was ex pressed forcibly and unequivocally In resolutions sdopted by their nstlonal association at Its annual meeting In New York. The committee was ac cused of baring violated the first, fourth snd fifth amendments to the Constitution by Its seizures of prlvste communications, and the publishers recommended thst all victims of the committee's sets seek civil dunces and demand the "prosecution of all In volved In the odious affair coder the criminal statutes of Um United Slatss." ure now pending.

BURGESS HAPPY DAYS IN THE GREEN FOREST THESE were happy days In the Forest At least tbey were happy for llghtfoot the Deer. Xhey were the happiest days he had ever known. Ion see, he had won beautiful, slender, young Miss Dalntyfoot. and now she was no longer Miss Dalntyfoot but Mrs. Llghtfoot Llghtfoot was sure that there was no one anywhere so beautiful as she, and Mrs. Llghtfoot knew that there was no one so hand some and brave as be. Wherever Llghtfoot went Mrs. Llght foot went Be showed her all his fa ct i al J Of Courae All the Little People of the Green Forest Hurried to Pay Their Respects to Mrs. Llghtfoot vorlte hiding places. He led her to his favorite eating places. She did not tell him she was already acquaint ed with every one of them, that she knew the Green Forest quite as well as he did. If he had stopped to think bow day after day she had managed to keep ont of his sight while be hunted for her, he would have known that there was little he could show her which she did not already know. But he didn't stop to think, and proudly led her from place to place. And Mrs. Llghtfoot wisely expressed delight wltb all she saw quite as If It were all new. Of course, all the little people of the Green Forest hurried to pay their re spects to Mrs. Llghtfoot and to tell Llghtfoot bow glad they felt for him. ANNABELLE'S ANSWERS Br Way Thompson DEAR ANNABELLE: A DENTIST TOLD ME A MAN'S WIFE It SOMEWHAT LIKE HIS TEETH! WHAT DID HE MEAN? HilVt. Dear "Naive": A FELLOW NEVER GIVES HER A THOUCHT UNLESS SHE HAP. PENS TO BOTHER HIM! And they really did feel glad. Ton see, they all loved Llghtfoot and they knew that now he wonld be happier than ever and that there would be no danger of his leaving the Green Forest because of loneliness. The Green For est would not be the same at all with out Llghtfoot the Deer. Llghtfoot told Mrs. Llghtfoot all about the terrible days of the hunting season and bow glad he was that she had not been In the Green Forest then. He told her how the huntera with terrible guns had given blm no rest and how he had to swim the Big River to get away from the hounds. "I know," replied Mrs. Llghtfoot soft ly. "I know all about it. Vou see, there were hunters on the Great Moun tain. In fact, that Is bow I happened to come down to the Green Forest. They hunted me so up there that I did not dare stay, and I came down here thinking that there might be fewer hunters here. I would not hare be lieved that I could ever be thankful to hunters for anything, but I am; truly I am." There was a puzzled look on Light foot's face. "What for?" he demanded. "I can't Imagine anybody being thank ful to hunters for anything." "Oh, you stupid!" cried Mrs. Light foot "Don't you see that if I hadn't been driven down from the Great Mountain I never would have found you?" ? "You mean I Dever would have found you," retorted Llghtfoot "I guess I owe those hunters more than you do. I owe them the greatest happiness I have ever known, but I never would have thought of It myself. Isn't It queer how things which seem the very worst possible sometimes turn out to be the very best possible?" C T. W. Burgee*. ?

The use of flour for thickening sauces is liked by the majority of cooks, though cornstarch makes a more deli cate and smooth sauce. Its only draw back Is tit needs good cooking to re move the raw taste of the starch. When using cornstarch for thickening mix It with a little cold water, milk or fruit Juice and add to the hot liquid, then it will cook smooth. Use half as much cornstarch as flour. If the recipe calls for flour. For pudding and other dessert sauces, one may follow the recipe and have good results, provided that the base of the sauce 1* properly made. A delicious sauce which may be used with duck, goose, turkey, game or chicken Is: Brown Orang* Sauc*. Take two cupfuls of meat stock or two cans of bouillon, or two tea spoon fuls of vegetable extract of bouillon, or three bouillon cubes In two cupfuls of water. Season the stock with one half teaspoonful each of white pep per and paprika, a dash of cayenne, one cupful of orange Juice, two oranges, pulp and slice of rind. Cook five min utes. Take from the fire and stand a few minutes. Brown two tablespoon fuls of flour, add the butter and brown, "The bride soon And* that It doMn't take many week* of dish watsr," says Rsno Rltzl, "to break the gallant young husband of caressing her hands." ? Bell s rod test*- ? WWU aertles. then blend veil until smooth. Add to the stock slowly. stirring all tbe time. Return to a double boiler and cook, beating occasionally with an egg beat er. Add one-half cupful of white grapes skinned and seeded. With these two sauces, white and brown, one may make thousands of sauces suitable to serve on salads, desserts, fritters, and dishes without number. C Western Xewip*o*r Union.
